Filing for Child Custody



Filing for custody can be overwhelming.

Filing for child custody brings an onslaught of decisions to make and information to process. Suddenly you need to find out where to get the child custody forms to file, what courthouse to call if you have questions, all of your state custody laws...and, the list goes on and on. While you're dealing with all of this, you also need to decide if you want to hire an attorney, who that attorney should be, if you want to try mediation, who should have custody of the kids or if you want to try shared custody, what terms and conditions you want in your child custody agreement, the schedule for your child custody agreement...and, the list goes on and on.

It's entirely normal for a divorcing parent to feel completely overwhelmed with all of the things that need to get done. Plus, there are the emotional issues and stress that accompany all of this. It's hard to imagine a situation that could be more complicated. And, that's why you should do everything you can to simplify this while you're in the process of filing for child custody. One great way to make things easier during this time is to get the Custody X Change software program.

How can Custody X Change help while you file for child custody?

Well, Custody X Change is a computer software program that allows you to create your child custody agreement. You can easily create a calendar and schedule and print off several years of the calendar. It's easy to put in the time the child will spend with each parent, as well as to divide the holidays, and also to create special events time when the schedule has a one time change. The software also calculates the time-share percentage that each parent has with the child--a figure that is helpful for you and your ex, and also impresses the judge and the court. Along with creating a schedule and a calendar, you can print off the actual agreement to present to the court, mediation, your lawyer, and your ex. In addition to the agreement and the schedule you can add in stipulations (you can choose from the ones provided in the program or make your own) that accompany the agreement (an example of a stipulation could be that you don't want one parent getting the child a passport without notifying the other coparent). This way you can you show up to custody court or mediation with your well thought out schedule and plan accompanied with neatly organized and printed documents.

Basically, Custody X Change makes it really simple to create your child custody agreement. That takes away about half of the decisions to make, and it saves you a lot of time so that you can focus on the other things going on.

Charles Shillolo used the software in his custody situation and he wrote,

"As someone who needed a little help sorting out time issues around custody of my children, I found custody exchange to be simple and easy to use and very clear with the outcome at a time when that was necessary. My former spouse and I have referred it to other families in need. We have had great success with it. The program is clear and easy to make time lines or plans for events. We do not dispute over time or access as all is laid out simply. It works well for unplanned events as well as the Percentage calculator has made for fair trades. Thank-you."
